I cruised the east coast of Spain 2005 and 2006, heading south as far as Gibraltar and north to the French border. I also visited Ibiza briefly and spent a few weeks circumnavigating Majorca. The mainland Spanish coast is mainly bland, with mile upon mile of beach and high-rise apartment blocks as far as the eye can see. But there are also very good places to visit, such as Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Marbella and Alicante. Tradewinds spent the winter of 2005 in the huge yacht marina at Almerimar on the south coast of Spain.Enjoy this section of my website, read the ship’s logs and check out the itineraries (go back to the Mediterranean Cruising Home page and use the toolbar) and browse the picture galleries.
